The Crue isn't finished kickstarting hearts just yet.
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Motley Crue is hitting the road again - and they're bringing some friends along for the ride. The heavy metal band announced the launch of the first-ever Crue Fest on Tuesday. The summer rock festival will feature the four original members of Motley Crue - singer Vince Neil, bassist Nikki Sixx, guitarist Mick Mars and drummer Tommy Lee - as well as Buckcherry, Papa Roach, Sixx:A.M. and Trapt.
Produced by Live Nation, Crue Fest will kick off July 1 in West Palm Beach, Fla. The tour will stop in 41 U.S. and Canadian cities.
The band also announced it will release "Saints of Los Angeles," their ninth studio album, on June 17.
Lee told the AP the new album - the first featuring all four original band members in more than a decade - is a mix of "old school and new school" Crue.

Rob Peters, I like this story. It's good stuff. Ya mean they have gone through all their cash from the last GIG, oh wait, they do it for their art, not cash. Like Zepplin and all the other "Where are they now Celebs"!?

They are a little long in the tooth, but still always a good live show. I'll most likely go when they hit the area just to get some new photos. Thanks for the update on the new tour!
